How do you let your Ss know you're there for them – even if you're not in the same room? #KidsDeserveIt #BeTheOne #ChampForKids (📸 via T @TeachBurg)

Thank you so much for having us today. #preservicelit

A3. Differentiated instruction in regards to reading looks like students reading all different books and not the same one based on their interests. It sounds like students in small groups working together. It feels like students have a choice in their learning. #preservicelit

[Lydia Forsthoefel @LForsthoefel]

A2. Assessment is important because it shows us not only how students are doing but also how teachers are doing. Running records in literacy, for example, not only show how the student is reading but show how the teacher needs to move forward and teach the student. #preservicelit

[Lydia Forsthoefel @LForsthoefel]

A1. We get to know our readers' skills, strategies, and identities through establishing reading relationships with them. We get to know our students as readers by reading with them and completing early literacy assessments. #preservicelit
